Kaweco Squeeze Fountain Pen Converter Review

The long sought after Kaweco Squeeze Fountain Pen Converter has finally arrived!

This mini converter gives users much more ink flexibility with the popular Kaweco Sport series of fountain pens. I had been saving my old empty cartridges and syringe refilling them if I wanted to use other interesting inks in my Kaweco's, but this converter will likely replace that. I think I need more practice with it though because I am only able to get about 1/2 the converter full so far in limited testing.

Let me know if you pick one of these up and what your filling experience is like.

Uni-ball Jetstream 0.38 mm Ballpoint Review

I have seen a lot of pens, pencils, and paper in my day, but I am still capable of getting my mind blown and acting giddy like a school child. And unlike my recent several hundred dollar fountain pen purchases, this is for a pen that costs less than $3.00.

Say hello to the Uni-ball Jetstream 0.38 mm Ballpoint.

This pen caught me off guard. Jetstream already had one of the finest-tipped ballpoints on the market in the 0.5 mm (which lays down a line of 0.4 mm or less) so I didn't really see the need, but I am oh so happy they produced this.

My original fear that this pen would be too scratchy to use - a common refrain with the 0.5 mm - was swept away the first time the pen hit the page. It is shockingly smooth, even more so than the 0.5 mm in my mind. It also requires almost no pressure to leave a solid, consistent, skip-free line. There isn't much more I could have asked for.

The 0.38 mm Jetstream is an immediate Top 5 Pen and will take up permanent residence in my daily arsenal of pens.
